Foto-Novelas II: Junkyard Saints - 2003 as Ray
JUNKYARD SAINTS is a spiritual thriller set in the tough,
gritty world of an auto dismantling yard somewhere in rural South Texas.
The story centres on Lalo Flores (played by Jeremy Ray Valdez), a Latino
teenager recently released from a youth detention facility, and his
growing acceptance of the son he has recently fathered. He works for
Clemente (Leon Singer), who has the unusual habit of collecting the
plastic dashboard saints that are extracted from the wrecked cars
brought into the junkyard. Clemente believes these saints have failed to
protect the drivers of these doomed vehicles and need to be “retired” to
a shed he’s been filling with faulty saints for the last 30 years. When
Lalo encounters Ray (Ramon Franco), a local drug dealer, he finds a
different sort of refuge and salvation among Clemente’s saints.
